2 tsp baking powder

150g (5oz) caster sugar

75g (3oz) Flahavan’s Oat Bran

100g (4oz) cranberries

25g (1oz) icing sugar

sifted Zest of an orange

1 egg

Place the egg, milk and melted butter or sunflower oil into another bowl and beat lightly. Stir into the dry ingredients. Just do this casually – there is no need to over mix.

Line a muffin tin with baking cases. Spoon the mixture into the lined muffin tin.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C /400°F / Gas Mark 6 for around 15 minutes – or until risen and golden.

Serve warm or cold. Quick Tip Oat Bran is also great as a coating for fish before frying.

The easiest way to cut the red cabbage and onions is on a Japanese mandoline but of course you can do it with a sharp knife if you don’t have one or a food processor works well too. This would be delicious as a side order or serve with baked jacket potatoes with a dollop of soured cream and chives for a light supper.

Ingredients:

4 tbsp (2oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter
1 small head red cabbage, finely shredded (core discarded)
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 cooking apples, peeled, cored and grated
2 cups (18fl oz) pomegranate or cranberry juice
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp light brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp mixed spice
good pinch of ground cloves
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Heat a very large heavy-based pan. Add the butter and once it has melted, tip in the red cabbage and onions. Sauté over a medium to high heat for about 10 minutes until just beginning to soften.

Stir the apple into the cabbage mixture and then add the pomegranate or cranberry juice, balsamic vinegar, sugar and spices. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour over a low heat, stirring every 20 minutes until the cabbage is meltingly tender. Transfer to a warmed dish and serve at once.
